Can't we just have daily hates?

Mitharx

The funny thing, Mitharx, is that your opinion has no bearing whatsoever on what is true. Furthermore, how is it an exchange if you feel so strongly that you are right that you ignore an never ending stream of talking points? It's your little world. Not mine. Teflor, a never ending stream of talkin...

Mitharx

Close-minded? You're hilarous. The reason we know better than to argue with you is because you are close-minded. You're a huge fan of saying "You don't know" and repeating it over and over as if that's a good reason to not have strong opinions on an issue that is ultimately unknowable for several re...

Mitharx

Please stop arguing with Teflor. Do you think that if you were ever completely right and proved it without a doubt, he'd submit? No. And especially not on these squishy topics. I'd debate with you and we might get some where, but we agree. So... what the hell.

Mitharx

Let's remove fireball from enchanters. They're good without it.

Mitharx

You'd know.

Mitharx

Avak, why do you believe in an absolute right or wrong? I mean, I believe in kantian morality and I don't buy the idea that categorical imperatives are universal. They are well-suited for a moral human society, but I can't get to the universal from there. Like you said, the absolute rights and wrong...

Mitharx

The fact that a human being did it should indicate that it is not beyond human morality. It may be beyond your understanding of morality or beliefs, but human beings are really capable of some truely horrible things. That doesn't make them non-human. It would be a contradiction.

Mitharx

I agree. And like I said, it's not about good reasons, but it's also not without reason. I suppose you could say it's human rationalization at it's worst. But that's also debatable.

Mitharx

That seems questionable. There have been cases were people felt legislators were infringing on their rights and took their case to court. The legislators don't have to protect the rights of everyone. They just have to protect the rights of the majority (democratically elected) and can infringe on th...

Mitharx

But this is the problem I have with that argument: If people interpret the constitution the way I see it, they are preserving and letting democracy thrive. If people interpret it your way, they are undermining democracy. I believe both are jumps in logic. And you're questioning the right to privacy ...

Mitharx

Corth, some legal minds that are probably greater than yours believed the constitution did have that right within it. The constitution, if nothing else, is relatively vague. I hope that the founders did that on purpose so we would have this type of flexible rule, but I dunno. So to say that the cons...

Mitharx

Now now Birile, I believe it's pretty clear that the founding fathers considered themselves the supreme rulers of both time and space. Do not question them or they will come from beyond the grave to legislate against you.

Mitharx

They have reasons. Whether they're angry about religion or foreign powers being involved in what they see as their affairs, they have reasons. That doesn't make these good reasons and it doesn't excuse their actions, but they're not beyond our comprehension. If terrorists kill for the pure pleasure ...

Mitharx

I was about to say what Ragorn said, except with different examples.

But whatever...

Mitharx

Yeah. I knew that. The problem is that he acted like he semi-cared about harry in several cases. He should have just said screw him if he was a double agent.

Mitharx

I didn't read the book, but gf did and told me the impoRtant stuff. I thought it was kinda weak that he would have killed the main professor guy. It just seemed like a big fat non-sequitor when compared to the rest of the books. So, I'm hoping it is a staged planned/thing, but gf thinks that I'm wro...

Feh. Memtimes are for pr0n. Zoning bots are for posting!

But seriously kids, don't do drugs.

Mitharx

I never used fumble and never will. I'm sure it has the potential to be useful, but I didn't find it all that great when you consider the amount of mem time involved.

Mitharx

Right. They have a higher chance to win an item. So why would a bidding system not be better if people wanted a specific item? That would seem to make bidding systems less of a waste of time.

Mitharx

Even assuming they're dependent, they shouldn't increase by that much and that often. And assuming they're dependent, the chance to win doesn't go up with each trip unless the number of bidders is decreased. The chance to win at all does increase, but I have trouble making a parallel analogy with th...

Mitharx

I had a thing typed up, but for the sake of making sure that we understand each other, I'd like you to explani what you mean by the chance of winning going up with number of runs made. Because if you're saying what I think you're saying, I don't think you're treating dicings as independent events.

Mitharx

How does straight dice increase the chance of winning with each zone a character does?

Mitharx

I this thread was about being on warriors.

I'm slightly disappointed.

Mitharx

Well, we've determined that the zone is definitely doable. Unfortunately, the mud crashed and we never saw the end. So, "Yes! It is doable. But not for us." From what I understand of the eq, it's really not worth the hassle, but whatever. I'll probably do the zone again. I'm just stupid like that.

I'm so tired of those freeloading whales. They're all a bunch of long-tailed hippy socialists. If they wanted to be saved so bad they would go out and find a job.

Oh, I forgot. Should a social safety net program be profit effective? First, you imply that private accounts will be profit effective. This is not guaranteed. Second, profit implies risk (I'll assume you had some finance at some point and know this to be true). Do I want my social safety net being r...

Mitharx

I thought about posting a bunch of links to various blogs and the social security website, but then I realized that no one would read them. To let you know I'm not making them up, look at the social security website, brad delong's website, various paul krugman articles, and marginal revolution. Ther...

Mitharx

Yes. The assets are backed by the government which must pay them, but that only describes the entire macro government situation. If you want to complain about financial irresponsibility in taxation policies and government spending, then go to town. Instead, you support these policies because you don...

Mitharx

Actually, that would be profit effective and I said cost effective. Social security administration costs are much lowers than a privatization plan because of the higher level of management required (ignoring transition costs). I've never heard of anyone advocating CDs. It was an interesting concept ...

Mitharx

Unfortunately, the republicans won't go that far. They are simply trying to keep programs like social security fiscally viable. Thus, I suppose that Eisenhower would not consider them stupid. Corth Actually, the privatization plans have little to do with keeping the program solvent. Private program...

How do you ride on stuff so close to lava for so long and not melt? The catching on fire from being close to flames seemed possible, but the fact that either were so close to lava for so long didn't seem to make much sense.

I would like to thank the powers that be for the paragraph. It makes things so much easier to read.

Mitharx

Wow, none of this stuff bothers. I don't think much bothers me in the way of reading extra text, but I know it drives some crazy. I think death pact triggers used to annoy me, but now I just laugh. Still, I hate people with long feeblemind triggers (like me). I suggest to avoid annoyance everyone ca...

I'm afraid it would make lichs too powerful for the same reasons listed in the soul(less) walk forum. Sorry.

Mitharx

I was told a while ago that if lichs got a transporation spell they would become so overpowered that the code would burst and go flying all over the rest of the code. There would be leetness everywhere. So, please stop trying to destroy the code. It's not nice.

What was awesome is that he wasn't (yet, although there was talk he may be sent there soon) even in Iraq. He was still positioned near North Korea.

Mitharx

Well, he's not allowed in Christian heaven. He can go into my version anytime he likes.

Mitharx

Just out of curiosity, what was he afraid of? Selfish seems more appropriate than cowardly. Even so, you could say that his loved ones were being selfish in demanding that he be around when he no longer wanted to be. Who wins? I don't think we should make a hero out of someone for killing themselves...

I think you misread my post (not that it was overly clear).
